A new study suggests napping can have a positive impact on children's memory and reading skills. We could make an argument for adult napping too... just sayin'. 🤷💤
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — Australian researchers found that daytime naps could help boost preschoolers’ reading skills.
About 32 children ages 2 to 5 years old in Sydney, Australia were examined throughout two separate daycares.The children did so without napping. A week later, they repeated the tests. Only this time the kids got to rest after learning. “When you're learning something, it might be confusing at first. But then when you sleep your brain is continuing to work to process that and consolidate it,” clinical psychologist Dr. Carollyn Ievers-Landis explained.Ievers-Landis says that while the study is interesting, every child is different and so are their sleeping needs.
